2010 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · WU60 YBV

The Suzuki Alto recorded a pass at its most recent MOT on 1 September 2022 at 98,226 miles, though notably a failure was issued on the same date at 98,221 miles, indicating a repair was completed and a retest passed within the same day. No specific defects were recorded on either entry. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the available data, but the most recent test is now approaching four years old, which is a significant concern for a buyer. The absence of any MOT records since September 2022 raises questions about the vehicle's current roadworthiness status and whether it has been maintained at all during this period. The Alto covered approximately 6,858 miles between August 2021 and September 2022, averaging around 571 miles per month, which aligns with the overall figure of roughly 6,139 miles per year for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. This usage pattern suggests moderate, consistent driving rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. The gap of nearly four years without an MOT record is the most notable feature of this history, as a UK vehicle legally requires an annual test, and the lack of subsequent entries suggests either the car has been off the road, has been maintained privately without DVSA recording, or has been operated without a valid certificate. Given the failed test in September 2022, a buyer should investigate what fault triggered the initial failure, even though no defects were recorded in the summary. The absence of any advisories in the two visible MOT records is broadly positive, but the age of the vehicle means that rust prevention, suspension bushes, brake lines, and exhaust condition should all be assessed in person. The lack of recent MOT data makes it impossible to confirm whether consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades have been replaced at appropriate intervals. An independent pre-purchase inspection covering structural integrity, brake performance, and emissions is strongly recommended before committing to this vehicle.
